"HE/SHE MARRIES OF THE BEWITCHED" HILL.

And well, Where are all?

Not it is a greeting very

warm truth?

Only the ghosts of the house

they are happy of seeing us here.

Maybe none of us

is it known?

You. don't two know each other?

I fear myself that not even

I know their name.

I Am Nora Manning.

Schroeder Rush.

Fredrick Loren,

Is his friend?

I know about him, but never

I have known it.

I work in one

of their companies.

But I have never seen it.

Me neither, only

I received a call.

- You. does he/she know it?

- No.

Then you. it is the only one

here that yes?

I don't know it.

All the details on

the rent of the house...

...they were made by mail.

- Is it quite rich, truth?

- He/she has millions.

He/she already had 5 wives if not

I make a mistake.

Up to now they are 4, I believe.

A party of 50.000 dollars

only for 5 people.

And it is something expensive still for

a millionaire.

If he/she wanted to scare somebody

this it would be the ideal house.

Who closed the door?

It is made of solid steel.

Annabelle?

Our companies already arrived

and fortunately alive.

Did you already put on makeup?

Powder and dirt for all sides

and there is hardly water.

- You could have cleaned it before.

- It is to create more ambient.

You already know lover

the ghosts are not meticulous...

It is a very sensual group,

but not very worthy of a party.

Not I will go to the party.

The Party Ghost was

does he/she devise your, do you remember?

Since I will find difficult 50.000 dollars...

...I want that the enjoyments.

The party was my idea until

that you made the invitations...

Reason strangers? Reason

not our friends?

Friends?

Do we maybe have friends?

No. Your jealousies

they took charge of that.

He/she had a reason

for each guest.

He/she wanted to have a

very blended public.

From a psychiatrist

to a dactilgrafa.

And from a drunkard

to a jet pilot.

All share the same thing:

They need the money.

Now we will see if they have

the value to be won it.

And to this flames a party?

It could be it.

Reason always faces that?

It ruins the champagne.

- Perhaps explode.

- Never him ago.

Can you guarantee it?

- Not it is amusing, Frederick.

- He/she would be a great holder.

Playboy murders his wife

with a cork of champagne.

- Do you want a little?

- No, thank you.

A swig would improve your humor.

My humor is very well, thank you.

And it is not poisoned.

It is good to know it.

He/she drinks a little, you will enjoy

more than the party.

We go.

Your trust is so moving.

And I won't go to the party.

Of all my wives, you are

the less obliging one.

But I still continue alive.

You would leave for a million

tax-free dollars?

Do you want everything, truth?

I deserve it.

Your jealousies are not free

of taxes.

And you are so possessive that

you return me madwoman.

If at some time a man

he/she had reasons to get divorced...

- But it could not prove them...

- The moment will already arrive.

- One day you will make an error.

- Does that believe?

If I live enough.

You remember how you had a good time

when you poisoned me?

Something that you had eaten,

the doctor said.

If, arsenic with ice.

Annabelle...

You would make it again if can

to go out you with yours, truth?

Does reason think that affection?

There is something on you...

I heard that hung norir

it is very uncomfortable.

For if you planned to attempt it

again.

Not leave that the ghosts

and the demons bother you, lover.

Affection, the only demon

in this house you are you.

Don't spend the night thinking

in how to come undone of me.

They will leave you wrinkles.

This is what she used with

my brother and my sister.

It cut them in pieces.

We find their pieces

for the whole house.

In the places

but unsuspected.

The strangest thing is that never

they found their heads.

The hands, the feet, things this way...

But any head.

The furious wife threatened to

their husband with a knife.

And in a hysteria outburst

he/she stabbed him and it could not stop.

I don't doubt it. To how many

Sr killed. Pritchard?

Only at two. To their husband

and to their sister.

Not there was nobody here.

So there are two heads

loose rotating somewhere around?

They can listen to them at night.

They whisper among them

and later they cry.

The host didn't still arrive.

They could serve me

something of drinking?

With pleasure, what does he/she want?

Good night.

I am their host,
